The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, dehydration and temperature extremes. Skin diseases are therefore more than ...

Researchers create an iontronic artificial skin that senses pressure, temperature, and current while learning patterns through built-in memory and computation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to ...

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water: This and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team has developed an ...

Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better ...

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode "The skin we're in" Anna Maria Coclite is developing artificial skin, even more sensitive than our own. For burn victims and beyond, this "smart skin" has the ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed self-healing gel technology similar to human skin. This is the first time that a hydrogel has been produced that ...

Robots are getting better at seeing, hearing, and moving, but touch has always been the missing piece. At CES 2026, Ensuring Technology showcased a new kind of artificial skin that could finally give ...

With the first ever documented observation of the self-healing phenomena of graphene, researchers from Hyderabad, India, hint at future applications for its use in artificial skin. Graphene, which is, ...

This phone cover might give some people the heebie-jeebies. It's made from artificial skin and it's not the only one. Researchers say they have also developed faux skin prototypes for other devices.

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Empa researchers are working together with clinical partners on a model of human skin. The model will allow scientists to simulate skin diseases and thus better understand them. The skin is the ...
